title: Bilateral posterior scleritis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe an unusual presentation of posterior scleritis in a healthy young patient.
  
  
  METHODS
  We reviewed the medical record of 21-year-old man for clinical presentation, course, and ancillary studies.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The healthy patient had a painless, bilateral posterior scleritis that presented with a combination of circumscribed fundus masses and exudative macular detachment. On fluorescein angiography, different hyper-fluorescent patterns characterized the two manifestations of posterior scleritis. An ultrasound confirmed the scleral thickening. Fundoscopic abnormalities resolved with oral prednisone.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Pain is not always present in this disease. A combination of exudative macular detachment and circumscribed fundus masses can be a form of presentation in posterior scleritis.
